According to a report from Zach Schonbrun of The New York Times, Jomboy Media has secured another $5 million of funding in a round conducted by Connect Ventures.
Jomboy Media, which has nearly tripled its staff since 2021, has seen expansive growth “without getting away from what made them relatable in the first place”, Schonbrun wrote.
Schonburn also reports celebrities and athletes were included as investors during the latest round of fundraising, but did not report any by name.
Jomboy Media currently features content deals with YES Network as well as podcasts hosted by Chris Rose, as well as current and former big leaguers Trevor Plouffe, Ian Happ, David Cone, and former front office executive Jim Duquette.
Alexis Ohanian, who joined the company as an investor in a previous fundraising effort, said Jomboy Media is “making the sport of baseball accessible to an entire generation” by their use of social and digital media.
The growing empire features 1.6 million YouTube subscribers and more than 900,000 followers on Twitter and Instagram.
